This is actually pretty fantastic Ai transformation. You have to look carefully to see where things shift. The glaring mistakes are either covered up with motion or gradual changes that make it harder to recognize at a quick glance. View quoted note →

Keep an ear out for this one 👏🏻🫡 View quoted note →

#Nostr is awesome. And it works.

The problem with successful deterrents is that there is no clear connection between it and the outcome. It must be inferred from deductive reasoning. This makes it incredibly easy for people to convince themselves of its irrelevance, or to claim “it’s just different now,” or to ascribe the success to something at the surface/social layer that is completely ineffective on its own. In essence, the success of a deterrent sews the seeds of its ultimate removal through ignorance and simply forgetting the real nature of the world. A good example that I think hasn’t succumbed to this yet is #Bitcoin mining - People in the future might start to say that the state was never really a threat, or that nobody cares and we all just want to work together, because it simply hasn’t been successfully attacked. When really the fact that attacking it is such a huge cost while even the degree of success is so severely limited, that it’s simply smarter to place their resources on the other parts of the battlefield (own more of it, regulate it, control the exchanges, attack developers, etc) Just a weekend musing. Seemed interesting since we seem to have been brushing the edge of this problem with the individual right to bear arms for a while now. The people have become incredibly naive and complacent. The lack of a mass killing of the population over the past 100 years (which is actually *extremely* unique) is just kinda hand waved away like “that’s just how it is now.” I feel that 2020 woke up a ton of people with a small preview into the horrible nature of most people and how quickly they can turn on common sense and human decency. But it’s just crazy to think that often times the *most* successful methods/technologies may very well be the *hardest* to see as successful. I wonder if the same will happen again with sound money in 100 years? 🤔

People who are “anti-gun” are not anti gun. They are activists for direct gun violence through the state against innocent people. Explicitly. They are the most pro gun violence demographic in society.

#Nostr needs a native “assault rifle” emoji 🤣🤣 View quoted note →

Being scared of or offended by a gun emoji should concern you. Weak people are the true destroyers of society, not strong ones. Insecurity is the foundation of most of the world’s greatest evils. Let’s fix this shit on #Nostr. We aren’t little bitches afraid of the truth. 😆 View quoted note →

#Bitcoin is becoming normalized. I can feel it. I’ve been slowly onboarding people with fewer and fewer touch points. Also, @AQUA Wallet is a seriously good onboarding wallet. Just onboarded someone and sent a $20-ish tip in under a minute.

So all of my nodes and computers are down right now and because of this I can’t zap… I have tried to zap notes at least 10 times today and it takes a couple seconds of waiting for it to respond before I remember it’s still offline. 🤣😭🤦🏻‍♂️ It has engrained itself into my motion memory, lol

What is the best bitcoin payment processor to accept large payments in? Setting up a contractor so can’t deal with the crappy @Cash App limits and stuff. I’m looking for one that can both keep the BTC and convert to fiat. Name all the best options you know of (US based)
